King Power Stadium will be the centre of attention when Leicester City and Preston go head to head in the Championship round 40. As Preston continue to struggle on the travels, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Foxes are dealing with multiple injuries, including Begovic, Kristiansen, Ramsey, Souttar, and Vestergaard, and come off a goalless draw with Watford. Their recent form (LLLDDLDWLD) shows clear struggles in both attack and defense—they’ve scored only 1.20 goals per game while conceding 1.70, with clean sheets in just 20% of matches. At home, their scoring improves slightly to 1.50 goals per game, but defensive issues remain, with 2.25 goals conceded per game.
Preston enter this game on a positive note, having beaten Stoke City 3–1 before the international break. The Lilywhites have no fresh injury concerns, and their recent form (DWDLDLLLLW) is inconsistent but slightly better defensively. They average 0.90 goals per game overall but concede 1.60. Away form is particularly poor, scoring only 0.40 goals per game.
Considering Leicester's home advantage plus a superior head-to-head, we believe that Home Win should be considered, alongside Under 3.5 and 2.5 goals as both teams struggle to score consistently.
This Championship match will be played on Friday 3 April 2026 at 15:00.
